Dingle Way 4-night self-guided walking holiday

Discover the beauty that is the Dingle Peninsula in the south west of Ireland by foot.

Walk to the small village of Camp near the foot of Slieve Mish Mountains, to the fishing port and bustling town of Dingle and onto the remote areas of Dunquin and Mount Brandon, through one of the last strongholds of the Gaelic language and spectacular scenery, rich in archaeological remains. Embrace the Wild Atlantic Way and enjoy the diversity of landscapes as you pass mountains, corrie lakes and beaches – the setting of many films, including ‘Ryan’s Daughter’ and ‘Far and Away’.

The average walking time ranges from 5 to 6.5 hours per day, at a leisurely pace.
